Summary
This Climate Action Plan for the City of Glenwood Springs is the result of nearly two years of work by the Glenwood Springs Energy Efficiency Ad Hoc Committee. City Council asked the committee to develop the plan and gave the committee a free rein in deciding what points to include. The report begins with a summary of the greenhouse gas inventory the Energy Committee conducted in 2007, followed by suggested targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and solid waste. The Climate Action Plan is divided into five sections: General Climate and Energy, Transportation, Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy and Waste Management. Together, the plan offers 172 recommendations for improving the sustainability of city government and the community as a whole.
